Geddy Lee Jazz Bass Jazzy?

I want to buy a Fender Jazz bass, and I'm considering either a MIM Deluxe Jazz, or a Geddy Lee Jazz. Since I've never known Geddy to play a lot of jazz , I'm wondering how much different it sounds as opposed to the MIM. I imagine it has more of a rock tone, but how much difference do you personally think? I have a ton of MIM I can try out locally, but no one carries the GL.

I recently purchased a Geddy Lee Jazz and I'm very happy with the sound. The neck is really sweet too. If you listen to the Moving Pictures album you will get an idea of what the bass sounds like. I can get that exact tone out of mine.

I did have a slight quality issue with my brand new bass however. The neck pup had a loose connection and had to be repaired. The neck pup would crackle and go in and out. It was an easy fix but annoying to say the least.

I own a Geddy at the moment and all of the above testimony is right on. It's a great little bass with a very vintage tone, great playability and construction. It's probably the nicest Fender I've ever played along with the American Deluxe series.

Also, as someone has mentioned and if it's your thing, you can duplicate Geddy's sound to the letter with this bass. I would take it over an MIM any day.
